Your US Rep. is generally best, but if one of your senators is up for reelection, call him/her as well - ESPECIALLY if it is Sen. Alfonse D'mato from Mississippi or Alabama or one of those states. You'll probably end up in one of his TV ads. The sens. do have some clout, but have to be motivated - up for reelection. i wrote one of mine, who was running again, about a military matter yrs ago he got good action -----Original Message----- From: William Heitman <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN <[log in to unmask]> Date: Friday, August 28, 1998 10:49 AM Subject: Re: Determining and rating disability? >In a message dated 98-08-28 08:04:17 EDT, you write: > ><< > If anybody has recommendations on how to appeal this I would very much > appreciate hearing your ideas. > >> >Mike, >There is a time for one top try political help in getting what is >appropriately "earmarked."
